Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2033

It's finally time to close this game.

Xiao Yunde stood on the top of the city wall with his hands behind his back, his robe fluttering, his black hair flying in the wind, and his eyes filled with a coldness as cold as a thousand-year-old ice.

"Traitor! You must be killed!"

He opened his thin lips slightly, and the sound was not loud, but it was like thunder exploding in everyone's ears. There was a commotion among the rebels below the city, and the soldiers in the front row involuntarily took a half step back.

The sounds of weapons all around suddenly stopped, as if even the wind was afraid of his pressure and dared not whistle anymore.

On the tower, arrows were flying everywhere. Crossbows made of cold iron were loaded at the same time, and the three thousand imperial guards were wearing iron armor.

The moonlight passed over the arrowhead, casting dense shadows on the bluestone brick wall, like the spread scales of a giant dragon.

Lin Wensong's pupils trembled violently, and a hissing sound escaped his throat, "No... Impossible! It's obvious! It's already--"

"They've already captured me?" Xiao Yunde's thin lips curled slightly, his smile not reaching his eyes, "Just relying on those trash of yours?"

Lin Wensong's blood suddenly solidified and the hand holding the knife began to tremble uncontrollably.

In the rebel camp under the city, Guo Jindong tightly grasped his spear, his knuckles turned white; Qin Hongchang's face was ashen and his heart was dead.

Gui Sifang rode on his horse, holding the reins tightly, listening to the sound of the palace gate closing. He looked at the palace gate closing with a bang, and the taste of rust rose in his throat.

The situation he was most worried about could not be avoided after all. He wanted to dominate the government, but he was afraid of both wolves and tigers, so he did not take any action.

If he hadn't been forced into a corner this time, he would actually want to wait a little longer until a more mature opportunity.

At this moment, my heart is broken and my dreams are shattered.

However, the last bit of stubbornness still supported his spine. He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, shouting at the top of his lungs, "We, your servants, are spilling blood in the imperial city today, just to clean up the government! Your Majesty is surrounded by treacherous people, and we, your servants——"

Before he could finish his words, a feather arrow pierced Gui Sifang's shoulder blade.

He groaned and fell off his horse with a bang.

"Shut up." On the city wall, Xiao Yunde slowly put down the carved dragon bow and looked down at the traitors struggling on the ground.

He deliberately deviated the arrow by three inches, then turned his head slightly to glance at Long Jiang, the shadow guard of the Western Shadow Guard, who was standing beside him.

Long Jiang received the order, clasped his fists and stepped forward to receive the order, his voice as loud as a bell, "Rebels under the city, listen up! Those who lay down their weapons will be spared! Those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy!"

Three thousand armored soldiers on the palace wall raised their spears at the same time, and the sound of metal clashing resounded through the sky.

The night wind suddenly blew, carrying with it a strong smell of blood.

The nine palace gates suddenly opened at the same time.

Amid the clanging of armor, the dark imperial guards poured in like a tide. The muffled thuds of heavy black iron shields hitting the ground merged into one, forming a sinister iron wall.

"The Emperor has ordered..." Long Jiang's voice exploded above the battle formation, "Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Before the last word had faded, the crisp sounds of weapons falling to the ground could be heard from within the rebel camp.

The sword made of fine iron hit the bluestone slab, splashing a string of dazzling sparks.

Suddenly, the imperial guards' iron formation split to the sides. Hundreds of torches were lit at the same time, illuminating the square as bright as day.

"Princess Haiyan has arrived!"

"Prince Li has arrived!"

"Princess Li has arrived!"

Three "yes" were uttered one after another.

In the light of the torches, Prince Li's red brocade robe fluttered, and his posture was upright and majestic.

He rode on a tall white horse, followed by a carriage made of black iron. Under the protection of the imperial guards, he rode his horse and led the way, slowly passing through the imperial guards' formation and arriving under the city tower.

Prince Li jumped off the horse. When the black iron carriage came to a stop, he placed his right hand on the shaft, lifted the brocade curtain with his left hand, and helped Princess Wei Pingting land steadily on the ground.

Then, two people supported Princess Haiyan on the left and right as An Xia got off the carriage.
